Since 1873 more than five million
foreigners have been added to our peo-
pie, constituting in the aggregate
about one-eleventh OF the present
population. The greater proportion
of this infusion of alien blood comes
from Great Britain, Ireland and Ger
many. though we are receiving much
more than formerly from Russia,
Italy, Austria Hungary, Sweden and

The taxable valuation of real and
personal property in California this
year is estimated to be not far from
81, 10000, 900, q great portion of
which, according to the San Francis
co Bulletin, will be attributable to
the "0oom' OF landed estate in Los
Angeles and other southern counties.
OF course, the assessors are expected
to take cognizance Of the increased
prices put upon their property by
owners OF land, but it is not often
they do it, unless they have evidence
TINT actual sales have been made at
the prices asked.

General John Pope in his "North
American Review" article invites dis.
cussion of the suggestion that our
common school education is killing
originality and turning out unimport.
ant men as much alike as buttons
from factory. 1t is certain that in
the average public school boys are
taught in platoons, and with no at.
tention to individual needs. The boy
is compelled to adapt himself to the
teaching; the teaching is not always
adapted to the boy whose bent is to-
wards certain specialties, from which
he may be able to derive future sup

Horrible Death from Hydrophobia.

New York Special: Matthew Gurnee, a
wealthy brick manufacturer of Haver.
straw, died on the 23d after a week ofgreat
suffering from hydrophobia, the result OF a
bite from 4 favorite terrier some weeks
ago. Mr.. Gurnee was IL great fancier OF
dogs. A particular pet was small
Scotch terrier. A month ago this ami.
NAL was bitten by a dog which
was afterwards discovered to
have gone mad. The terrier ran homo to
bis master, rushed into the house as il in
great pain, and placed his head upon Mr..
Gurnee's knee. Mr.. Gurnee showed his
hand into the dogs mouth to relieve him,
as he seemed to be choking. The dog drove
his teeth into Mr.. Gurnee's right hand, and
the hood flowed freely from the wound.
The animal then fell over and soon died.
Mr.. Gurnee's grief at the loss of his pet
led him to be careless Of himself. A
physician was not called for several
days, and when one was called
the hand was inflamed to an alarming ex.
tent. Three days ago the patient was sud-
denly seized with violent spas,ms, and
these increased on Tuesday 90 that it re-.
quired four men to hold Mr.. Gurnee in the
bed. The condition of the patient aroused
the alarm OF his physician and yesterday
DR.. William A. Hammond of this city was
summoned and found the case hopeless
To a reporter DR.. Hammond said: This
was genuine case of hydrophobia. There
ore few instances in which am prepared
to admit that this horrible disease exists;
this is one OF them, however.

that it is questionable kindness to

were unprecedented in number and SIZE
Thousands of people who yesterday selected
locations around the route of to-day's pro-

them all the night A steady stream OF
pedestrians and carriages poured constantly
all night into the city from all directions
towards the West End. At o'clock this

while when all were seated there was
quiet, but this was only temporary and
